Outside Fufeng Pass.
"Finally home!"
Looking at Fufeng Pass in front of them, Zhang Meng and others let out a long sigh of relief.
"My benefactor, is this the legendary Fufeng Pass? It's so magnificent."
Liu Xiuer couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the huge Fufeng Pass towering in front of her.
The other girls were also filled with emotion, with expectations and yearning in their eyes.
After all, in the final analysis, they were once just ordinary women in an ordinary village. They were able to get here thanks to the help of their benefactor, Li Dao.
"When you get here, you don't need to call me benefactor. You can either call me boss like Zhang Meng and the others, or you can just call me deputy commander."
Li Dao said from the side.
Liu Xiuer nodded and suddenly said in a slightly naughty tone, "My dear, the deputy commander is also the commander. Can I call you commander?"
Li Dao was stunned for a moment, then recovered his senses and showed a faint smile, "It's okay in private, but you'd better call me deputy commander in public."
Liu Xiuer chuckled and nodded.
Seeing Liu Xiuer's current appearance, Li Dao shook his head and smiled.
Since the scars on her face disappeared, it seemed that the scars in Liu Xiuer's heart had also been smoothed away, and her attitude in front of him became less reserved than before, but gradually relaxed.
The same seems to be true for the rest of the group.
But this is fine. Li Dao hopes that while they can remain cool on the battlefield, they can truly act like ordinary women in private, with their own lives and attitudes.
The guards on the city wall quickly opened the city gate after confirming Li Dao's identity.
Li Dao then slowly walked into the city gate with Liu Xiuer, Zhang Meng and others.
During this period, Jiu'er also poked his head out of the carriage and looked around curiously.
"Deputy Commander!"
On the way to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, any passing soldier who saw Li Dao would immediately stop and say hello respectfully.
And all this is because during this period, detailed information about Li Dao's battle to defend Fufeng Pass was circulated in the army. Some people may not have seen Li Dao himself, but they have definitely heard of his deeds.
Some people even directly dug up the incident where Qi Sheng targeted Li Dao.
"Li Dao, you little bastard!"
Just when Li Dao and his men were approaching the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
Suddenly a voice sounded from far away.
The next second, a figure was seen quickly approaching the convoy.
Zhang Meng and others did not move because they recognized the owner of the voice.
But Liu Xiuer and others didn't care about that. The group directly rode their horses and drew their swords to block Li Dao.
After approaching the convoy, the figure saw clearly the appearance of the person blocking the road and quickly stopped.
"Li Dao, didn't you say you would send them all away? What kind of trick are you playing?"
Li Dao waved his hand to Liu Xiuer and others and said, "No need to block him, this is the current commander-in-chief of Fufeng Pass, Daqian Taipinggong Yang Lin."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuer and others were shocked and immediately clasped their fists and said, "Commander, I'm sorry."
What they were worried about was not what would happen to them and others, but whether their actions would implicate Li Dao.
Yang Lin waved his hand, "Don't be so polite. I won't be angry with you little girls. I'm here to see Mr. Li."
After saying that, he looked at Li Dao and said with a dark face and gritted teeth, "I say, Mr. Li, you are so unkind, you laid so many holes for me before leaving."
"Mr. Yang, you may have misunderstood. I didn't trick you."
"What's the matter with those cheats that didn't deceive me? Not only did you suppress the cheats for a few days, but you also caused a lot of trouble for me later on."
"What is this nonsense."
Li Dao explained, "That's because I was busy dealing with the people I brought back from Sin City during that time."
"And if there are any troubles later, those are just things I planned in advance, and I thought I would deal with them when I get back."
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said, "Is it possible that you have dealt with all those things?"
Yang Lin gritted his teeth angrily, "If I don't handle it, why don't I wait until you come back to handle it?"
"Also, if I don't come out, that guy Chen You will be following me all day long, saying everything is urgent and needs to be dealt with immediately."
Li Dao frowned and said, "I don't remember anything that needs to be dealt with urgently. I just left the planning and arrangements to Chen You."
"Mr. Yang, have you ever offended Chen You?"
"offend?"
Yang Lin frowned and said, "When have I ever offended him? I even recruited him in front of you because I was optimistic about him. How could I offend him?"
Suddenly, Yang Lin seemed to have thought of something, and his expression froze.
"Mr. Yang, what did you think of?"
"I probably know why."
"Why?"
"Yang Yan."
After hearing the whole story, Li Dao couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Yang, Chen You has been kind enough this time."
Yang Lin said with a dark face, "Chen You looks honest, but I didn't expect that he really holds a grudge."
Li Dao comforted him, "Just think about Qi Sheng and you will know. If it were you, would you be able to bear it?"
Yang Lin shook his head. He originally thought that after Chen You's attack on Qi Sheng, there would be nothing more to do with Yang Yan.
Feelings are waiting for him here. The important thing is that what he does cannot be said, it is all according to the rules.
This wave of repayment by Sun's debtor can be said to have made him suffer for a long time.
When he thought that his grandson's suffering had to be shouldered by him as a grandfather, Yang Lin felt a little angry and said directly, "Boy Li, I've left that brat Yang Yan to you, you must do it." If you want to educate him well, as long as he doesn’t die, then teach him to death.”
Li Dao reassured, "Don't worry."
The misunderstanding has been resolved, and Yang Lin's anger towards Li Dao has been relieved by more than half.
After calming down, he looked at Liu Xiuer and others and frowned slightly, "Boy Li, they are..."
"Mr. Yang, let's go back to the commander-in-chief first."
"Fine."
...
Soon after, the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
Li Dao, Yang Lin, and Zhong Zhong reunited.
"What are you talking about? You want to form a women's cavalry team? Are you kidding me?"
After hearing Li Dao's thoughts, both Yang Lin and Shen Zhan were stunned.
Li Dao shook his head, "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Yang Lin asked bluntly, "Do you think it's appropriate?"
Li Dao replied, "I think it's quite suitable. As long as you are strong enough, you can be a soldier, no matter you are a man or a woman."
Shen Zhong also spoke out, "Li Dao, you have to understand that we have not had so-called female cavalry until now. Women can only serve as guards. It is almost impossible to become a regular army."
Li Dao said bluntly, "The so-called impossibility is still the same sentence. Everything is a matter of strength."
At this time, Yang Lin on the side said, "Do you think they are strong enough?"
"Um."
Yang Lin looked serious and said bluntly, "What I call strong is not ordinary strong."
"Because they are special, their requirements naturally need to be special. If they want to become a member of the New Town North Army, they must be stronger than the average, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public."
"Of course, you are the deputy commander. You may be able to force them in, but they may not be able to withstand some of the discrimination and rules in the military camp."
Hearing this, Li Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, the strength I say is enough is not what you think."
"These words are not just words."
"What do you want?"
"You said they are strong enough, then why not give it a try."
"Try it? How do you want to try it?"
"Of course it's a real fight."
Hearing this, Li Dao looked a little strange and said, "Are you sure you want to have a fight?"
"What? I don't dare."
"If you dare, just tell me how you want to fight with real swords and guns."
"I see that your female cavalry only has about 200 people, so I will also send 200 people, and make sure that both sides are about the same strength. Under such circumstances, let the two sides compete with each other with real swords and guns, as long as you can win."
"That's right then."
"It's accurate, and not only is it accurate, I will also notify Fufeng Pass to let everyone except the guards come to watch this battle."
Having said this, he patted Li Dao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "With so many people watching, if your female cavalry can win, then no one will gossip behind their back, right?"
Li Dao took a deep look at Yang Lin and nodded, "That's just like Mr. Yang said."
"In three days, I'll give you some time to prepare."
"Okay, then I'll go talk to them."
After Li Dao left, Yang Lin and Shen Chong were the only two people left in the lobby of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
He looked at Yang Lin heavily and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Yang, if you have made such a big deal, aren't you afraid that it will end badly?"
Yang Lin said bluntly, "What's the point of ending badly? It's just a sparring match."
"I mean what if your people lose?"
"lose?"
Yang Lin raised his head, "I admit that Mr. Li is very capable, but that doesn't mean he can turn decay into magic."
"Maybe those women have some abilities, but they are probably compared with ordinary women. When the strength is the same, the innate gap between men and women cannot be easily smoothed."
After thinking about it, Zhong Zhong nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Yang, are you going to let those people compete with each other?"
Yang Lin said bluntly, "Those women are cavalry, so of course I will also send cavalry. I can just randomly pick 200 from the heavy armored battalion who are similar in strength to them."
"Heavy Armor Battalion?"
He was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Yang, you don't want to give them a chance at all."
Yang Lin chuckled, "Didn't you tell me to be careful about making myself look ugly? I just like to listen to others' advice, so I have to be careful to avoid losing people."
"And I do it for their own good. If you lose on the battlefield, it's just a loss. If we lose on the battlefield, it's fine for us men to just suffer a little bit. But if they lose and are captured, don't say you don't know the consequences. What will it be."
Hearing what Yang Lin said in front of him, he looked deeply in admiration.
I thought: Sure enough, he is still too young and not mature enough to develop such a thick skin.
After hearing it, he understood a little bit.
"So Mr. Yang, who are you going to choose to lead the army?"
"Who to choose?"
Yang Lin thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate for me to take action myself."
Heavy: "???"
If the relationship is right, you would also like to take action yourself.
Finally, Yang Lin thought for a while and made the decision.
"Let Yang Yan compete in this competition on my behalf."
"Yang Yan?"
Heaviness suddenly felt more hanging on Li Dao's side.
Although Yang Yan's performance has always been below par since arriving at Fufengguan.
But no matter what, he was born in a family of generals and was carefully cultivated from an early age.
He had heard that the women Li Dao brought were all from ordinary small mountain villages, and they were much younger than Yang Yan in age.
Based on such a comparison, the outcome of this competition may have already been reached before it even begins.
